    Default Re: My Small Claims Case Was Moved to Civil Court by the Defendant

    Can someone please correct me if I am wrong. I thought in cases of strict product liability that the plaintiff does not have to prove negligence?

    As long as:
    -the product was being used for the purpose for which it was intended
    -the product was not modified
    -the product caused injury

    the manufacturer, store, or anyone in the supply chain could be held liable for damages.
    While that is true, it's overly simplified. You still have to make a prima facie (google it) case that those elements existed and that is further complicated by AZ's product liability statutes 12-681 through 12-689 which you can read at:
